14 Signs That You Are Actually A Child Trapped In An Adult’s Body

Well, you've somehow managed to make it to adulthood...Congrats! But, you know that deep down you are still a child on the inside. Being a true child at heart is actually pretty great. You have a certain sense of innocence about you and the people around you love it. You can easily have a fun night by just playing games, laughing, and doing mischievous things with your friends. Enjoy it and embrace it! Never stop acting like your true inner child, even if someone tells you to grow up. Here are the signs:

1. You still eat the cereals you ate as a child.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Reese’s Puffs, Cocoa Puffs and of course, Lucky Charms (and you still save the marshmallow charms for last)

2. If you could, you would eat ice cream for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

3. The idea of the 25 days of Christmas actively excites you.

4. You still eat as if you are a growing child.

5. And when you get home from school you still get a snack...Preferably a Capri Sun & a Fruit Roll Up.

6. The opening scene to all of your favorite movies begins with this:

7. Your attention span has not improved since you were like 5.

8. You take naps...and probably more now than you did as a child.

9. You try not to spend any of your own money. “Mom, can you buy me this? Pleaseeee, I really need it.” She can’t say no to those eyes.

10. You wish your mom still did your laundry because let’s face it, she does it best anyway.

11. You’ve always enjoyed coloring, but now you can use the excuse that you’re doing it for your mental health because that’s a thing.

12. You still have a ton of fun playing board games and video games and love winning family game night.

13. You still want to keep a few things from your childhood because it's just too hard to part with them.

14. And finally, the thought of graduating and becoming an actual adult scares you.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
